User Posted June 15 Report Share Posted June 15 59 minutes ago, Aristides said: An AR15 with a bump stock increases its rate of fire up to 800 rounds per minute. A M16 rate of fire on full auto is 700 - 800 rounds per minute. So yes, it does make it a machine gun. No, that makes it function similarly to a machine gun. 1 hour ago, Aristides said: A gun can't can't drive you to work, your kid to school, yourself on vacation or to the store and it can't deliver your Skip the Dishes, Amazon purchases or get you an Uber or cab. It won't delver all the goods and services you need to live to the places you can get them. This absurd comparison is very tired.

It is not remotely the same thing. Which is why the army buys m16's and not ar 15's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CdnFox Posted June 15 Report Share Posted June 15 1 minute ago, User said: It's the rate of fire, not how much fire can practically be sustained. More importantly it's a theoretical rate of fire, not actual. It's the rate of fire in a completely static situation where you are not moving from one target to another and you do everything correctly - for a short period of time you can sustain that rate of fire but only for a very short time. And if you transition to other targets then most likely you'll get a failure. The actual real world rate of fire is actually probably better in most cases with a regular semi auto with a light trigger pull. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not in favour of banning guns just sensible regulations surrounding them but I'll tell you what, I'll ban all guns where I live and you ban all motor vehicles where you live and we'll see who makes out better.

CdnFox Posted June 15 Report Share Posted June 15 Just now, Aristides said: How can it be sustained with a fully auto rifle? a) - they are built to an entirely different spec with different components that can take that kind of pounding. An ar is not an m-16. They are very different guns b) They can't. Soldiers were trained to fire in short bursts because they'll burn the gun and the barrel out in a heartbeat otherwise. in fact M-16's now have 3 round burst settings and NOT full auto to prevent any such issues and keep from wasting ammo. Turns out full auto isn't a terribly desirable feature in most cases. 2 minutes ago, Aristides said: Yes it makes its ability to kill similar to a machine gun. No, it does not. You can't transition from one target to another effectively. You can't 'Spray" an area. It jams frequently. It's a toy for the range. Why are you repeating the same lie.

It gives a rate of fire similar to a machine gun. Guns are built to fire bullets are they not? I did not say anything of the sort. Maybe someone did but it wasn't me. Stop comparing motor vehicles to guns and we won't have a problem. We need motor vehicles to survive. You have to pass a test and get a license to operate a motor vehicle and it has to be registered and insured. You don't want any of those to apply to firearms so stop comparing the two. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He doesn't want to respond to me because he's very aware i know a lot about guns and ballistics and will have no problem showing that most of what he's posting is nonsense. A bump fire gun is NOTHING like a machine gun. But to touch on the car thing again - the fact is that if they don't have guns bad guys have a host of other things they use to kill people with and FREQUENTLY do. So the argument that the specific tool is the important factor is kind of dumb, and that's the point. If you DON"T ban cars and knives and gasoline and aircraft and etc etc then they still have all the tools they need. The common denominator in all of those crimes is the person. You need to address the person, the tool doesn't matter And MOST serial killers or mass murderers can be caught and stopped earlier if the right things were done.

This: "In REALTY a bump stock does convert a semi-automatic weapon into a machine gun. " Does not equal this: "AR's with bumpstocks perform substantially the same as machine guns.

gatomontes99 Posted June 15 Report Share Posted June 15 12 hours ago, User said: Now, you are back to the same original stupidity as before. That is not the definition of a machine gun. Functioning similar to a machine gun, doesn't make something a machine gun. Words have meanings. You can run people over with a car, too; that doesn't make a car a machine gun. Holly cow.

Aristides Posted June 15 Report Share Posted June 15 Machine guns are designed for a sustained rate of fire and generally use belt fed ammunition. Automatic rifles are not and have limited size magazines which must be changed. A bump stock gives an AR15 the ability to empty a magazine at about the same rate as a fully auto M16.

All it does is help you press the trigger fast. That is all it does. And it only works in very ideal circumstances and for very limited time. It's extremely unreliable. It does not increase the rate of fire to that of an M16. But you have to continue the LIE again and again. You don't really care about the truth all you care about is your virtue signal.

gatomontes99 Posted June 15 Report Share Posted June 15 It is clear to me that the gun banners don't have any understanding of firearms. That is why they want to ban them. Of course, no ban really harms those that would break the law. Bans only harm those that follow the law. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
